I have no idea who the maker is, but I'll bet that his initials or his mark could be found if you took the rifle apart. I have a very nice custom Springfield 1922 in .22 Hornet that no one could identify from photos. When I took the stock out of the action, I found the initials GLS stamped inside the stock just in front of the magazine well. With that information, I was able to identify the maker.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Barnett does not disassemble the guns he's selling, many of which are consignments. This one is likely a fairly recent maker, perhaps one who is still active, as he (almost certainly a he and not a she) used Torx or Allen head screws, which are a fairly recent choice in custom rifles. Some real traditionalists still look down on such usage, but they are far less likely to strip out than a standard screw.
